roo neo4j status

The technology and integration looks promising. We are using roo with our basic spring apps, and was curious about the status of the neo4j plugins for roo.

There are a couple of old threads hat spring roo for neo4j is being worked on, but not much info lately. I could be looking in the wrong place, please pardon me if that is the case.

Both spring neo4j and roo are in flux right now. With roo 1.4 and spring 1.0 out, I thought something might be happening.

Couple of quick questions:
- what is the status of spring neo4j?
- if active, which version of roo should I use with it? (latest or dev)
- if development activity is paused, which version of neo4j or roo is the target for further work .

The roo infrastructure currently revamped their internal APIs so that broke our current addon but will enable us in the future to integrate nosql data models into roo.
I wanted to strip down our roo addon to basic setup and installation (but I assume you already have that covered) but the roo update with the changed API stopped me from continuing on that.

Hopefully I find time to address the roo addon in July. The future roo addon will target Neo4j 1.4, Roo 1.1.4 and Spring Data Graph 1.1.

Basically all the trusted Roo plugins require you to approve them on your machine. So you can use "pgp trust" or "pgp automatic trust" The first will trust just that plugin. the second will trust any plugins from then on.

Thanks for the quick response.
You are right, it it the Roo version compatibility. I got it working with Roo 1.1.4.
So right now I am unblocked and am able to have a single web application with Neo4J as the data-store.

Thought this might help others like me who took the latest Roo version (V 2.0) and found the same issue.

Will look forward to your update on the fix so that it works with Roo 2.0 as well.

I don't suppose anyone has a time frame when the add-on will support Roo 1.2+ and the new Spring Data Neo4j instead of Spring Data Graph? Just that it would be nice to use the tools that come with STS 2.9.0
